00:00:05All right, ready?
00:00:06I'm rolling, baby.
00:00:07And action.
00:00:07And action.
00:00:10Where is he?
00:00:11I love you, CeeLo Green.
00:00:16Welcome home, honey.
00:00:17The mega mentor in the knockouts for Team Adam and Team Legend is the OG original coach
00:00:21of The Voice, CeeLo Green.
00:00:23Come to me.
00:00:24Got wisdom.
00:00:24Pearls of wisdom.
00:00:25I got to work with Michael Bublé, whom I love.
00:00:28Do you need a cape?
00:00:30I feel very powerful right now.
00:00:33I am so excited for the knockouts.
00:00:35Let's go.
00:00:36You're really seeing artists blossom.
00:00:38Oh, my gosh.
00:00:40A trip to the semifinals is on the line.
00:00:43There's no steal and save.
00:00:44It's like Hunger Games.
00:00:46I actually love nothing about knockouts.
00:00:47I hate seeing people go home, man.
00:00:49If it's this hard for you, just think about how hard it is for me.
00:00:51No, that's horrible.
00:00:52This is horrible.
00:00:55This season, we're doing something we've never done before.
00:00:57Our first all-star showdown.
00:01:00Oh, wow.
00:01:01Suspenseful.
00:01:02Not only is CeeLo the mega mentor, but he's going to decide who the winner of our all-star
00:01:07showdown is.
00:01:09The lowdown on the showdown is...
00:01:15The knockouts start right now.
00:01:17I'm ready.
00:01:17Knockout.
00:01:18Get it?
00:01:19Knockout.
00:01:24Welcome back.
00:01:25It's so good to have you here.
00:01:26Thanks for having me.
00:01:27Great to be here.
00:01:28Mr. CeeLo Green.
00:01:29I've been a fan of him for decades now, and I'm just so happy he's here.
00:01:33I think our relationship hits back about 20-plus years.
00:01:37Yeah.
00:01:38Remembering how you used to do it.
00:01:39He knows how coaching is supposed to be done on this show.
00:01:41So good to have you, sir.
00:01:43Thanks for having me.
00:01:43You know, you guys started something that's been around now for 29 seasons.
00:01:48Some great time that comes through here.
00:01:49Absolutely.
00:01:50It feels really good.
00:01:51It feels strange and wonderful.
00:01:52Strange and wonderful.
00:01:54Yeah.
00:01:54I love that, and we're going to have some fun with these artists.
00:01:57I'm killing it right now.
00:01:58Nah, I have more finesse when I do it.
00:02:00Lucas and Moses, I feel like they both kind of have a similar thread of, like, soulfulness.
00:02:06I got one steal from Team Adam.
00:02:08Oh!
00:02:09We got a steal!
00:02:10Yeah!
00:02:11Moses, certain people just have a light, so I was like, I can't let him go home.
00:02:14And then Lucas, his specialty, is doing those great pop, piano, singer, songwriters.
00:02:20I love him either.
00:02:21Let's do it.
00:02:23Hello, gentlemen.
00:02:24Oh!
00:02:25Oh!
00:02:26You see that?
00:02:27You see that reaction?
00:02:29Stop it!
00:02:30We got a mega mentor, one of our OGs.
00:02:32What's up, bro?
00:02:33When I walked in and saw CeeLo Green, I lost it.
00:02:37I'm so lucky to have even shared space in orbit with this guy.
00:02:40I have to tell you, this is a full circle moment where you did Selma Glory.
00:02:45Uh-huh.
00:02:45You did a tri-state area run, and I was contracted as one of the singers.
00:02:49Oh, amazing!
00:02:50About 10 years ago, I had the opportunity to sing Backbone for John Legend for his promo
00:02:55for the song Glory from the movie Selma.
00:02:57I always wondered what that would be like to work more closely with him.
00:03:00This opportunity to work with him is like a dream come true.
00:03:02I'm glad you got to sing with me then, and then Lucas.
00:03:05I'm so glad you're here in the knockouts.
00:03:07We're going to have a lot of fun.
00:03:08My pleasure to be here.
00:03:09I want you both, man.
00:03:10So, what have you chosen?
00:03:12I'm singing Let's Get It On by one of the kings of Soul.
00:03:15Hey.
00:03:16Marvin Gaye.
00:03:17Marvin meant a lot to me.
00:03:19I'm excited to hear you cover this song.
00:03:22Growing up in my household, the only music that was allowed was gospel music.
00:03:25I have vivid memories of hearing this song outside of my window in Harlem.
00:03:31This song is one of the most iconic songs from that first...
00:03:35Everybody knows what comes next.
00:03:37I've been really trying, baby.
00:03:40I've been really trying to hold back.
00:03:43Moses has gotten better each time I've heard him.
00:03:46So long.
00:03:48And if you feel like you...
00:03:50He's delivering it with passion and electricity, all the things you want.
00:03:55Yeah.
00:03:57Hey, sang that song.
00:03:59So, brother.
00:04:00It sounded like you were inspired by a couple of the live renditions of Let's Get It On.
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:05That's my wheelhouse.
00:04:07He was singing along the whole time.
00:04:08Yeah.
00:04:09Now, think about how to command the stage with your physical energy.
00:04:16Right now, it feels like you're a little frenetic.
00:04:19Okay.
00:04:20You got to be that bridge between both versions of Marvin.
00:04:22Yeah.
00:04:23Even that recording, it sounded like it was live and in the moment.
00:04:25But you can compose yourself because it may be a bit much when it's the only song that
00:04:30you're going to sing.
00:04:31But then, by the end, you're begging.
00:04:33So, it's like, let it build to that.
00:04:35That last, come on, get on your knees.
00:04:37Ah, come on, come on.
00:04:39Oh, run again at all.
00:04:41Yeah.
00:04:42Yeah.
00:04:43Go for it.
00:04:43That's the first rule, man.
00:04:44Don't show no shine.
00:04:47Give us a journey physically.
00:04:48Because you're, I think, vocally giving us a great journey.
00:04:51Awesome.
00:04:52That means so much.
00:04:52Thank you, John.
00:04:53Being here in the Knockouts really feels like I've made it far.
00:04:57No more steals.
00:04:58No more saves.
00:04:59It's win or go home.
00:05:00Lucas, I love that the keyboard is back out.
00:05:02What are you doing?
00:05:03I'm doing New York State of Mind by Billy Joel.
00:05:06Come on.
00:05:07The song's about how Billy was super nostalgic about New York because he lived in L.A. for
00:05:12three years and he was really homesick singing New York State of Mind.
00:05:16It really kind of helps me cure that homesickness I'm feeling right now.
00:05:19I miss my buddies, I miss my dog and my sister.
00:05:23I actually took a gap semester from college to be here, so I feel like that really dials
00:05:27up the pressure.
00:05:28I want to prove to John that I'm the guy you want for the top nine.
00:05:33All right, let's hear it.
00:05:35Some folks like to get away, take a holiday from the neighborhood.
00:05:41Come on.
00:05:42Lucas had beautiful choices, beautiful runs.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:46Yeah.
00:05:47He's really soulful.
00:05:48And that piano playing, see, oh.
00:05:50I love the unassuminess.
00:05:52That's the charm of the voice.
00:05:54You just have to be open, optimistic, and ready for your miracle.
00:05:57And that's the way I received him today.
00:05:58I was like, okay, this is a good one.
00:06:03Playing that thing.
00:06:04All right.
00:06:04Woo!
00:06:06Wow.
00:06:07That's so much fun.
00:06:08He's doing all this work on the keys because you have so much style as a vocalist.
00:06:11I want you to be able to have that same intentionality vocally while you're playing.
00:06:16But maybe some moments have a little more tenderness.
00:06:19I agree with you because the virtuosity, it's almost like you don't have to think about playing
00:06:22the piano.
00:06:23That's your strong suit.
00:06:24Billy Joel is one of my all-time favorites.
00:06:26But I noticed when he performs, he's not really playing to the crowd.
00:06:31So I don't know if you could maybe lose yourself in that sum.
00:06:34You can really close your eyes and just sing that record like, oh, take that.
00:06:38Give me some of that rough around there, that New York under the street like doo-wop type
00:06:42of line.
00:06:42I got to bring it out.
00:06:43Yeah.
00:06:44Yeah, man.
00:06:45Come on up, Moses.
00:06:46Lucas has incredible skills.
00:06:48I'm shook.
00:06:49And I feel even more urgency to bring my A-game.
00:06:53I have messages for you guys.
00:06:54Yo.
00:06:55I'm looking at CeeLo's jacket.
00:06:56I'm like, what's in all those pockets, man?
00:06:58How many pockets you got on that thing, CeeLo?
00:07:00Pockets for everybody.
00:07:03It's going to be really hard to decide between them because they're both like right in that
00:07:07same like level of like quality and beauty and skill.
00:07:13Every act of creation is first an act of destruction.
00:07:16All right, now, what we got, Lucas?
00:07:19Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.
00:07:21All right.
00:07:22Moses, since you're new to Team Legend, you also get another gift.
00:07:24Oh, like my jacket?
00:07:25Yeah.
00:07:26I'm happy I don't have to do it.
00:07:27Oh, man.
00:07:28I'm happy I'm helping you be able to do it a little bit better.
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:32But yeah, I know that it's difficult.
00:07:34This is the hardest part.
00:07:35Yeah.
00:07:36And you can't fake it.
00:07:37Yeah.
00:07:38They're going to make it hard for me.
00:07:41Let's go.
00:07:43Lucas.
00:07:44I love him.
00:07:45He's great.
00:07:46I love Moses, too.
00:07:46This is going to be very close.
00:07:48I don't know what I'm going to do yet.
00:07:50Oh, no.
00:07:51Come on, Moses.
00:07:52Now singing, let's get it on.
00:07:54Here's Moses G.
00:08:02I've been really trying, baby, trying to hold back this feeling for so long.
00:08:12And if you feel like I feel like I feel, baby, then come on.
00:08:20Oh, come on.
00:08:22Yeah.
00:08:22Woo.
00:08:23Let's get it on.
00:08:26Oh, baby.
00:08:28Let's get it on.
00:08:31Let's love, baby.
00:08:51Let's go.
00:08:55Hey.
00:08:55Hey!
00:09:25I've been around the bush
00:09:29Oh, gonna get it on
00:09:34Back to you, baby
00:09:36I want to get it on
00:09:39You don't have to worry
00:09:41That it's wrong
00:09:44If the spirit moves you
00:09:46Let me groove you
00:09:47Let your love come out
00:09:51If you believe in love
00:09:56Let's get it on
00:10:12Yeah, Moses
00:10:14Go, Moses
00:10:16It's piano man time
00:10:21With New York State of Mind
00:10:23Here's Lucas West
00:10:24Lucas
00:10:38Some folks like to get away
00:10:41Take a holiday from the neighborhood
00:10:46I'm a ride to Miami Beach
00:10:49Or to Hollywood
00:10:53But I'm taking a greyhound
00:10:56On a Hudson River line
00:11:02I'm in a New York State of Mind
00:11:13It was so easy living day by day
00:11:20Out of touch with the rhythm and the blues
00:11:28But now I need a little gift
00:11:32But now I need a little gift
00:11:32But now I need a little gift
00:11:33But now I need a little gift
00:11:36The New York Times
00:11:39The New York Times
00:11:40The Daily News
00:11:44It comes down to reality
00:11:46And it's fine with me
00:11:49And it's fine with me
00:11:49And it's fine with me
00:11:49Cause I've let it slide
00:11:51I don't care if it's trying to turn
00:11:54I want to be fine
00:11:56I want to be fine
00:11:59But I don't have any reasons
00:12:02I've left them all behind
00:12:07Okay
00:12:09And he can play
00:12:11Cause I'm in a New York State of Time
00:12:32That's bad!
00:12:36Yeah!
00:12:36Yo, he's good
00:12:37That's bad!
00:12:39Yeah!
00:12:43He makes me so happy
00:12:46Moses!
00:12:47Moses, Moses
00:12:47You cannot do that song
00:12:49Unless you do exactly what you just did
00:12:51You committed, sir
00:12:52That's right, that's right
00:12:53I heard your words in my mind when I did it
00:12:56I cannot move the way you were moving on that
00:12:58You got moves like Jagger
00:13:00Ayy!
00:13:02Ayy!
00:13:03Ayy!
00:13:03Ayy!
00:13:05Lucas, you were not on my team
00:13:06And I'm still mad about it
00:13:08Stay mad, kid
00:13:09Stay mad
00:13:10Yeah
00:13:11You just keep getting better and better, dude
00:13:12I mean, this dude really plays
00:13:14That keyboard is not a prop
00:13:15And I love that about you, too
00:13:17Thank you so much, man
00:13:18Thank you
00:13:20Moses, you make me so happy
00:13:22I found myself smiling, my face hurt
00:13:25Thank you
00:13:25I love it
00:13:26You know, your arms open and you're dancing
00:13:27You're lost in it
00:13:28You just love it
00:13:29Lucas
00:13:30Billy Joel
00:13:31If he says this
00:13:32Like, you just made him proud
00:13:33That was insane
00:13:36You have to be able to say
00:13:38I'm gonna challenge myself
00:13:38Because I feel like
00:13:39I am worthy of it
00:13:41And I think you need that kind of confidence
00:13:42And attitude to move forward
00:13:43So I would lean a bit more towards Lucas
00:13:45Thank you so much, Kevin
00:13:47Thank you, coaches
00:13:49Alright, John
00:13:50Tough decision
00:13:50What'd you think of it?
00:13:51Oh, I was so impressed with both of your performances
00:13:55Moses, you really have such a beautiful energy
00:13:58You just radiate light and positive energy
00:14:02And that's what people wanna feel and wanna see
00:14:04Lucas, I feel like we saw new things from you vocally today
00:14:09It was really, like, revelatory
00:14:11And to be able to play the piano
00:14:14And then sing as well as you did today
00:14:16Is just incredibly impressive
00:14:19Thank you so much, John
00:14:20John, tough knockout
00:14:22Who is the winner?
00:14:24This was very close
00:14:25I think both of you are phenomenal
00:14:27And it's been a joy working with both of you
00:14:30The winner of this knockout
00:14:41Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere
00:14:44John, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:14:47The winner of this knockout is Lucas
00:14:50Lucas, congratulations
00:14:51Lucas, congratulations
00:14:52At this point, everybody's so good
00:14:54So only talented artists are going to go home
00:14:57It's the conundrum of making decisions
00:14:59When the competition is so good
00:15:01You killed it
00:15:02Lucas just had just enough of that extra
00:15:04That I needed to know that he belonged in the semifinal
00:15:08It's really nice to hear from John
00:15:10Hearing your hero tell you that they believe in you
00:15:13And 100% is like the craziest thing, you know?
00:15:16I want to call my mom
00:15:18Yo, Lucas, he's the truth
00:15:19He might win
00:15:21Let's go now
00:15:23To the flow now
00:15:25This is my first time in this position, you know that
00:15:28Oh yeah?
00:15:28Yeah
00:15:29Do you need a cape?
00:15:30Mega Mentor?
00:15:31I feel very powerful right now
00:15:33Mega Mentor?
00:15:33I mean, Michael Buble is a nice name
00:15:35But it doesn't quite have the same ring as Mega Mentor
00:15:43Mega Mentor
00:15:44You're so special
00:15:45Mm-hmm
00:15:46So it's Battle of Champions
00:15:48So what I thought I'd do is I would bring in the greatest Mega Mentor I could think of
00:15:54I love my Buble
00:15:55You're so good at this show, you win a lot
00:15:58I love it, just like you
00:15:59Yeah
00:15:59I was built for doing this
00:16:01It is fun
00:16:02If I could be a small part of helping these artists to grow
00:16:05There's a lot of goodness that comes on it
00:16:07All right, so up first are my country dudes who I love
00:16:10Oh yeah
00:16:11This is my first time to really get to work with them
00:16:13Okay
00:16:13And they're both very different
00:16:14All right
00:16:16I put the country boys together
00:16:17She didn't know what she was getting into
00:16:19Kelly paired me with J.W. Griffin
00:16:21And J.W. is one of my best buddies
00:16:24And I was like crud
00:16:25We should do like Scooby Doo when we walk
00:16:30Let's bring him in
00:16:32Dude, you guys are so handsome
00:16:33What's up?
00:16:34What's up?
00:16:35I'm Michael Buble and it's nice to meet you
00:16:37Houston
00:16:37I love Michael Buble
00:16:38He's got five Grammys
00:16:39That's a huge deal at any level of artistry
00:16:42I was kind of starstruck
00:16:44J.W.
00:16:45He's won two times
00:16:47He's a champion
00:16:47It's cool to see another coach that has a history of winning
00:16:51And to get to work with them
00:16:52I'm really like sorry once again
00:16:55This is our first time to technically get to work together
00:16:58Be gentle with us please
00:17:00Just so you know there's no steal and save
00:17:02Oh that's hard, that's really hard
00:17:04Yes
00:17:05And this is Y'all Pick the Song
00:17:06We really want to push you to make this song competitive
00:17:09Because it's really cutthroat
00:17:10It goes from six to three
00:17:11It's like Hunger Games
00:17:13All right, who's starting?
00:17:14Okay, who's starting? Which one?
00:17:15I'll go first
00:17:16Okay
00:17:17This round there's no saves and there's no steals
00:17:20So it's like we're in a big old pressure cooker
00:17:22And that stinks
00:17:23But that's the way competition goes
00:17:25Why'd you pick this song?
00:17:27I look up to Luke Combs a lot
00:17:29A great voice
00:17:30For the knockout round I picked Love You Anyway by Luke Combs
00:17:33I guess it was 2025 and he was like
00:17:36Hey listen, I got two young boys at home
00:17:37I'm not going to be on tour all the time
00:17:39I want to be there to watch them grow up
00:17:40A lot of how Luke tends to be with his family
00:17:44I see that in how my dad was with me growing up
00:17:46And that means a lot
00:17:47I guess the first intro to country music for me
00:17:49Was listening to the Alabama's Greatest Hits CD in my dad's truck
00:17:52That was where I started realizing that singing could be fun
00:17:55I'm at school right now
00:17:57Because eventually I want to be a husband and I want to be a dad
00:18:00And I know that if music doesn't have the ability to pay the bills
00:18:03Getting my degree is my ultimate backup plan
00:18:06This ag building that I'm right next to has taught me so much
00:18:10I'm currently studying agricultural business
00:18:12It's a little bit looser than a regular strict business degree
00:18:16Because every once in a while I'll wear my overalls to class
00:18:18I love it
00:18:20It's been really cool
00:18:21But if I could perform and do music for the rest of my life as a job
00:18:25I don't think I'd work a day in my life
00:18:27And that sounds good to me
00:18:28I'm looking forward to this
00:18:29Let's do it
00:18:30All right
00:18:31At least I'd have the stars that sparkled in your eyes
00:18:36Houston is this big beautiful voice country singer
00:18:40I think he could sing other stuff
00:18:41I think
00:18:41Oh yeah
00:18:42You can sing rhythm and blues, you can sing rock
00:18:43You feel like soulful
00:18:44And so young, 20
00:18:46Yes, 20 years old
00:18:46I love you anyway
00:18:51I love this song
00:18:52What a beautiful mess
00:18:54Sad but beautiful
00:18:56Lyrically, it's deep and rich
00:18:58But don't forget to give me what the words are
00:19:02Like enunciate a little bit
00:19:04Yeah, like enunciate for us
00:19:05Tell the story to them
00:19:07Millions and millions of people watching you
00:19:09And that is an intimate relationship that you're allowed to have
00:19:24You're letting them in
00:19:28The reason this heart breaks
00:19:32Dude!
00:19:33Dude!
00:19:34Come on!
00:19:36Okay
00:19:36Please!
00:19:37God!
00:19:37That is stronger than the biggest note you could do
00:19:40Okay
00:19:41The audience is gonna yell, you know
00:19:42When you do that
00:19:43All right
00:19:44Come on, J-dubs
00:19:45All right
00:19:45I feel like it's nerve-wracking going against Houston
00:19:48He's got a classic country voice in it
00:19:50It's really easy to connect with
00:19:52Tear it up, man
00:19:53For the knockouts I picked
00:19:54If it hadn't been for love by the Steel Drivers
00:19:56This kind of song can let me show out a little more of my soulfulness
00:20:01That I haven't really been able to do yet
00:20:04I love it
00:20:07I just love the sounds and the song has a bluegrass flair
00:20:11It's in the country genre
00:20:12I think there's always gonna be country roots behind everything I do
00:20:16Just cause my accent and the way I talk
00:20:18I like country music the most because
00:20:21It represents kinda what it feels like
00:20:25To be from South Georgia
00:20:26And now it's just like
00:20:29I'm thousands of miles away
00:20:30I've given up a lot of time to be here at work
00:20:33I've missed a while now
00:20:35I miss the bread a lot
00:20:37But I've been eating a lot of bread out here too
00:20:41The feeling of being able to perform and people enjoying it
00:20:45That's what I'm here for
00:20:47I'm not ready for it to end
00:20:48Well, let's hear it
00:20:51Never would've hitched back to Birmingham
00:20:53If it hadn't been for love
00:20:57For me, J.W. is a country star
00:20:59I love his quick vibrato
00:21:01His tone, just stylistically
00:21:02I just dug what he was doing
00:21:05If it hadn't been
00:21:06He just has this undeniable voice
00:21:09He's one of those classic storytellers
00:21:11For love
00:21:13Nice
00:21:16Man, your voice is so cool
00:21:19Thank you
00:21:19Like, it's so effortless
00:21:21My thing I would suggest
00:21:23Just because of the competition
00:21:24If you're singing this at a show
00:21:25Do it exactly how you did it
00:21:26Okay
00:21:27But if you're doing it on a competition stage
00:21:28It can get a little monotonous, right?
00:21:30That's the only thing I'm thinking
00:21:31That's what I've been trying to think of something to do
00:21:32Lift the tempo
00:21:33Turn it into a little more kind of rocking thing
00:21:36Yeah, yeah
00:21:37Instead of it just kind of chilling
00:21:38Yeah
00:21:39We gotta make this a competition song
00:21:41Yeah
00:21:41I think Kelly's the perfect coach for me
00:21:43Because she just has a great presence
00:21:45She's really warm
00:21:46But she also, like, knows what she wants
00:21:49I like it musically
00:21:50Not to stay the same
00:21:52Yeah, yeah
00:21:52She's a good leader
00:21:53Just have some kind of like
00:21:54Eh
00:21:54Yeah, rock it up a little bit
00:21:56Yeah, experiment with that
00:21:57Walk a walk
00:21:59JW
00:22:00The dude's tone is insane
00:22:02I could listen to him sing a phone book
00:22:04And I'd be happy
00:22:05So
00:22:06Yeah
00:22:07We took her to church
00:22:08It's so good
00:22:09I think Kelly's team
00:22:10Has true country threats
00:22:12Yeah
00:22:13That is a nice place to be
00:22:14Yeah
00:22:14I love both songs
00:22:15You couldn't be more different
00:22:17Representing different lanes in country music right now
00:22:19But yet
00:22:20You both have this soulful grit to you
00:22:22That is so classic
00:22:23I love both of them
00:22:24They're both very different singers
00:22:26What are you gonna do?
00:22:27I don't know
00:22:27How are you gonna make decisions?
00:22:28You think we talk about this
00:22:29We think we know
00:22:30And then we get there the day of
00:22:32And you choose someone else
00:22:33It is for me in the moment
00:22:34Like, whoever does best in the moment
00:22:36That's what I'm going with
00:22:37Come on, JW!
00:22:39Oh, JW
00:22:40Woo!
00:22:41Let's go, baby
00:22:42Now with If It Hadn't Been For Love
00:22:44Here is JW Griffin
00:22:53And if I would've hitchhiked to Birmingham
00:22:56If it hadn't been for love
00:22:59I love him
00:22:59Woo!
00:23:00And if I would've took the train to Louisiana
00:23:03If it hadn't been for love
00:23:06And if I would've run through the blind terrain
00:23:09Without one dollar to my name
00:23:12If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:23:16Yes!
00:23:18Never would've seen the trouble that I've been
00:23:21If it hadn't been for love
00:23:24Would've been called like a wayward wind
00:23:28If it hadn't been for love
00:23:30Well, nobody knows it better than me
00:23:34I wouldn't be wishing I was free
00:23:37If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:23:41Yeah
00:23:43Four cold walls against my will
00:23:49At least I know she's alive and still
00:23:56Four cold walls without the road
00:24:03Lord, have mercy on my soul
00:24:11Well, never would've been to that side of town
00:24:15If it hadn't been for love
00:24:16Better than CJW!
00:24:18Never would've took him out of track her down
00:24:21If it hadn't been for love
00:24:24Never would've loaded up my .44
00:24:27Put myself behind the jailhouse door
00:24:30If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:24:35If it hadn't been, if it hadn't been for love
00:24:43Oh, yeah!
00:24:46For love
00:24:50Yeah!
00:24:53Yeah!
00:25:07Welcome back to The Knockouts
00:25:09At Universal Studios Hollywood
00:25:13Singing Love You Anyway, here's Houston Kelly
00:25:16Come on, Houston!
00:25:17Come on!
00:25:18Come on!
00:25:18Come on!
00:25:25Come on!
00:25:26Come on!
00:25:26Come on!
00:25:26If your kiss
00:25:29Turned me to stone
00:25:31Okay
00:25:32I'd be a statue standing tall in ancient Rome
00:25:38Oh God
00:25:40And if your touch
00:25:43Shed me like glass
00:25:46I'd be in pieces trying to make the breaking last
00:25:53And if it took one look to turn my days to nights
00:26:00At least I'd have the stars to sparkle in your eyes
00:26:08There's just some things that leave a man no choice
00:26:15Like a compass need or need and it's true, no
00:26:21Baby, if I knew the day we met you, babe
00:26:25The reason this heart breaks
00:26:30Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:26:39There's just some things that leave a man no choice
00:26:45Like a compass need or need and it's true, no
00:26:52Baby, if I knew the day we met you, babe
00:26:56The reason this heart breaks
00:27:00Nice
00:27:01I know
00:27:02Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:07Yeah!
00:27:09Oh, I'd love you anyway
00:27:14Yeah!
00:27:16Beautiful!
00:27:17Good job!
00:27:19Beautiful job!
00:27:20Nice
00:27:24Both of you!
00:27:27That was awesome, man
00:27:29So good, man
00:27:30Oh, my God!
00:27:32You suck!
00:27:34Gentlemen!
00:27:34That was so well done by both of you
00:27:36Houston, you had so much character and warmth in your delivery
00:27:41I loved when you gave that little smile
00:27:43You have the best smile
00:27:44Something about it, you were like, I got there
00:27:46I got to that end of that spot
00:27:47And he gave a little smile like
00:27:51Yeah
00:27:51Yeah
00:27:52J-Dub
00:27:54You don't mind if I call you J-Dub?
00:27:56You can call me J-Dub too
00:27:58Your tone is so cool to me
00:28:00I just really love that it's a little nasal in like the perfect way
00:28:04It has a nice crackle to it
00:28:07I could hear it on the radio
00:28:08I would go with J-Dub
00:28:11Thank you
00:28:11I want to start with you, Houston
00:28:12Because I think there's a sense of joy
00:28:14You look, you know, to the left and look to the right
00:28:16And it's almost like you're like, man, I'm here
00:28:18I'm doing this
00:28:19I just want to say thank you for reminding us about the fact that this all has to do with
00:28:23the joy of singing
00:28:24And just excellent job
00:28:27Thank you so much
00:28:28Yeah
00:28:28J-Dub
00:28:31Still sad
00:28:31I thought maybe you were gonna go with me in the beginning
00:28:33I thought the same, Adam
00:28:34I really felt like we had a connection
00:28:36And yet
00:28:36I was wrong
00:28:37And yet
00:28:38I am your fan
00:28:39I am coming to your concert
00:28:40I'm buying your t-shirt
00:28:41I'll be in the front row
00:28:43But you both did a great job
00:28:44And I'm proud of both of you guys
00:28:46Thank you, coaches
00:28:49Kelly, what a difficult decision
00:28:50Give us some thoughts first, please
00:28:53From rehearsals
00:28:53You both did things that you did not want to do
00:28:56All of a sudden, Houston
00:28:58Did like this falsetto thing
00:28:59And I was like, where the hell did that come from?
00:29:01I was like, wait, what?
00:29:02And he was like, oh, I don't do that on stage
00:29:03I was like, get the hell ready
00:29:07That was nice
00:29:08And the same thing, like, JW
00:29:11We changed your song
00:29:12We were trying to make it competition-worthy
00:29:13You weren't afraid to do that
00:29:14Which I really love
00:29:15And what that lets me know
00:29:17Is that you're fearless
00:29:18And that's the exciting thing
00:29:20About working with artists like you
00:29:22Kelly, two great artists
00:29:24But the time has come
00:29:24Who is the winner of this knockout?
00:29:26You're both equally as gifted
00:29:28But I thought one of you
00:29:29Might be a little bit more ready
00:29:31For competition right now
00:29:32The winner of this knockout is JW
00:29:35JW
00:29:36Thank you
00:29:37Houston versus JW was really hard
00:29:39Thank you so much
00:29:41JW was a little bit more comfortable
00:29:44Even in the in-between moments
00:29:46When he wasn't performing
00:29:47It's pretty tough this season
00:29:48Because in the knockouts
00:29:49Usually there's a save
00:29:50Maybe a steal or something like that
00:29:51There's nothing like that this season
00:29:52It's the name of the game
00:29:53It's a competition, I get it
00:29:54But at that point
00:29:56You know, you've worked with them
00:29:56A couple of times
00:29:57To where you really get to know them
00:29:58And it's even harder
00:29:59To see them go home
00:30:01JW is just so good
00:30:03I want to listen to him sing
00:30:04It's that simple
00:30:05All day long
00:30:09Where are the people I saw
00:30:10On the street today?
00:30:11Who said they were coming to The Voice?
00:30:13There you are
00:30:15I was walking from school to my office
00:30:18And they were like
00:30:18We're going to see you at The Voice today
00:30:20That happened to me one time in New York
00:30:22I was walking home
00:30:23And these women stopped me
00:30:25And they were like
00:30:25I'm coming to your show tomorrow
00:30:26And I was like
00:30:26Well, I'll see you again
00:30:36Welcome back to The Voice
00:30:37Battle of Champions
00:30:43Oh my God
00:30:44You're taking me back
00:30:46Guys
00:30:47You want to see my actual debut album?
00:30:49What do you mean your actual?
00:30:50This was before I had a record deal
00:30:53Is this for real?
00:30:53This is before I was John Legend
00:30:55Look at your baby face
00:30:57I was still in college
00:30:58And then after that
00:31:00I was like
00:31:00I'm changing my style up
00:31:01And your name
00:31:02I used to sell it at my little shows
00:31:04In Philly and New York
00:31:06I've grown up since then
00:31:07Hey, John Stevens is cool
00:31:10Bro, my name's Adam Levine
00:31:11There's like 4,000 Adam Levines out there
00:31:19It's my mega mentor CeeLo Green
00:31:21Hello, sir
00:31:21How you doing?
00:31:22I'm great
00:31:22It's good to see you
00:31:23Good to see you
00:31:25Welcome home, honey
00:31:28Two OG voice coaches
00:31:30So needed, so necessary
00:31:31Yep
00:31:31If I get a call from Adam
00:31:33I make myself available
00:31:35Man, thanks for having me back, bro
00:31:37You know what I'm saying?
00:31:37I love you, man
00:31:38You know I love you
00:31:39I live to entertain people
00:31:40For, you know, fabulosity
00:31:43So, wow
00:31:44Yeah
00:31:44You get it?
00:31:46That's what I'm here to do
00:31:47You ready for this?
00:31:48I am not
00:31:50Me neither
00:31:51We're gonna do it
00:31:52Hey!
00:31:54Hello!
00:31:55What's up?
00:31:57It was amazing to walk in and see CeeLo
00:32:00As the mega mentor
00:32:01CeeLo, man
00:32:02Great to meet you, brother
00:32:03Oh, you look great today
00:32:03He's won Grammys
00:32:04He was an OG voice coach
00:32:07With Adam
00:32:08And he is cool as a cucumber
00:32:10Let's do it
00:32:11Ladies first
00:32:12In the grand tradition
00:32:13No big deal
00:32:14It's a little Whitney
00:32:15Oh, yeah, no big deal at all
00:32:16No
00:32:17I am singing
00:32:18You Give Good Love
00:32:20By Whitney Houston
00:32:20Tell me about why you chose the song
00:32:22Because her songs
00:32:23Was some of the songs
00:32:24That my mom made me sing
00:32:26As a kid
00:32:26It's like a full circle moment
00:32:28I believe my mom
00:32:29Did see potential in me very early
00:32:31When I was little
00:32:32She used to put me
00:32:34In like different talent shows
00:32:36She was like
00:32:37Hey, if you win
00:32:38We could go get a burger
00:32:40I was like
00:32:42Okay
00:32:42That was what I was excited about
00:32:46She paved the way for me musically
00:32:48But you did not give up
00:32:50I am so proud of you
00:32:51And so
00:32:51Now I get to sing Whitney
00:32:53On a huge stage
00:32:55I'm excited
00:32:57Sing to us
00:32:58Make Whitney proud
00:32:59Come on, slow
00:32:59All right
00:33:00I know she will
00:33:10Normally it's a bold move to do Whitney
00:33:12But there is no singer that Whitney has been better hands with
00:33:16Alexia is special
00:33:18I think people are going to be blown away
00:33:23I want to support it
00:33:24It's a brave and bold move
00:33:27And we need more of that type of energy
00:33:29Yeah, a hundred percent
00:33:30All right
00:33:35All right
00:33:36Bye bye
00:33:37That was pretty good
00:33:38Thank you
00:33:38Let me just begin by saying
00:33:40What a blessing
00:33:41To be able to hear
00:33:43True talent
00:33:44It sounded unique
00:33:45It sounded fresh
00:33:46We don't hear this song often enough
00:33:48This was her humble beginning
00:33:49This one song
00:33:51Introduced her to the whole world
00:33:52Was this first?
00:33:53And she did it in one take
00:33:55Of course she did
00:33:56Yeah
00:33:57There's only one little thing I can tell you
00:33:59Okay
00:33:59When it first comes in
00:34:01Uh huh
00:34:02Settle
00:34:02Yeah, the edit doesn't give you the opportunity to slip down into it
00:34:06Cause
00:34:08You know how she opens up the record
00:34:10Yeah
00:34:11I wish you could do that cause I love that part
00:34:12I know
00:34:13Yeah
00:34:14That's the thing
00:34:14Like it does kind of
00:34:15It throws you in it
00:34:16So just
00:34:17Use all the space
00:34:19So you can really settle in
00:34:21I can do that
00:34:21You're done
00:34:22Alexia, she's just a powerhouse vocalist
00:34:25That's definitely the most nerve-wracking thing
00:34:27All right
00:34:28I love this song choice
00:34:29I love that he chose Wallflowers
00:34:31One Headlight
00:34:32An anthem
00:34:33A song everybody wants to sing when it comes on
00:34:34I love Jacob Dillon
00:34:35I love the Wallflowers
00:34:36I like the fact that he was
00:34:38Very singer-songwriter
00:34:40But it's also rock and roll
00:34:41Hell yeah
00:34:41This song is about figuring out life's toughest moments while trying to hold on
00:34:45I do know what it feels like to hold on tight to my dreams through hard times
00:34:50Nothing could have prepared me for how difficult and competitive Nashville is
00:34:55There it is
00:34:56It's tough
00:34:57When you're first there you don't know a lot of people
00:34:59You don't have a lot of work
00:35:01Six months after I moved to Nashville
00:35:03You know I was broke
00:35:04But you know I just
00:35:05Kept at it
00:35:06I got my first cut as a songwriter
00:35:09It proved that I can hang
00:35:11Now to be here in the knockouts
00:35:13No more steals
00:35:14No more saves
00:35:15It's definitely getting real
00:35:16You gotta win or go home
00:35:18I love the choice
00:35:19Let's do it
00:35:20I feel just like somebody else
00:35:23Man I hate chains
00:35:24But I know I ain't the same
00:35:27Man Bay's been the big surprise coming late in the game
00:35:29I love his voice
00:35:32He looks good
00:35:34Sounds good
00:35:35Pulls it all off
00:35:36It's a complete and total cool
00:35:39I can tell in the way you sing that you have a really great understanding of rock and roll music
00:35:44Do you have a quintessential cool about you?
00:35:47I think the hardest part for me was when you get to that high point in the song
00:35:50To not overdo it
00:35:52I mean sit right in the pocket
00:35:54Yeah
00:35:54Just a bit
00:35:54You know what I mean?
00:35:55Yeah
00:35:57Wait I'm starting to get a
00:35:59Oh
00:36:01I'm starting to get a
00:36:02Oh I think he's got
00:36:05I've got fortunes
00:36:06I've got messages
00:36:08Let me give you something
00:36:10I did not know CeeLo was a fortune teller
00:36:13That came as a surprise
00:36:14For you sir
00:36:17And
00:36:17I love that
00:36:20I won
00:36:23What do you want to say?
00:36:24Art is what you can get away with
00:36:26I love that
00:36:26That's good
00:36:27I invent nothing
00:36:28I rediscover
00:36:29That's right
00:36:30That's cool
00:36:31That's pretty perfect actually when I think about it
00:36:34I hate these decisions but this one's going to be especially tough
00:36:36Amazing you guys
00:36:38Dude
00:36:38You got it aced
00:36:39I want to give it to you early

00:36:59Yeah

00:37:13I found out what I've been missing
00:37:19Oh my god
00:37:20Always on the run
00:37:25Stop

00:37:32Yeah

00:38:04Oh, no, I can't stop, looking around, it's not what this love's going about, our love is here to stay,
00:38:25to stay, to stay, to stay, to stay, to stay, to stay.
00:38:34Baby, so good, take this heart of mine, into your head, you give good love to me, never to my
00:38:50heart, baby, you give good love, no, no, baby, you give good love.
00:39:07Baby, you give good love.
00:39:16Yeah!
00:39:18She's going to win.
00:39:20Yes.
00:39:21Beautiful.
00:39:22Jesus.
00:39:23Sing, Leslie.
00:39:24Sing, girl.
00:39:25You so cool?
00:39:26Yeah.
00:39:36Welcome back to The Knockouts.
00:39:43Now with one headlight, here's Bay Simpson.
00:39:50Let's go, Bay!
00:39:52Hey!
00:39:53So long ago, I don't remember when.
00:39:56That's when they say I lost my only friend.
00:40:00They said she died easier from broken heart disease.
00:40:05As I listen through the cemetery trees.
00:40:12Oh, yeah.
00:40:17Hey!
00:40:19Come on, child.
00:40:21Nothing is forever.
00:40:23There's got to be something better than in the middle.
00:40:27Leave us in the room.
00:40:29Leave us in the room.
00:40:30Put it all together.
00:40:32We can drive it home.
00:40:36With one headlight.
00:40:41Oh, yeah.
00:40:45I'm so long, and I feel just like somebody else.
00:40:50Man, I ain't changed.
00:40:52But I know I ain't the same.
00:40:55Well, somewhere here in between these city walls of dying dreams.
00:41:00I think her death must be killing me.
00:41:13Come on child, nothing is forever
00:41:17There's got to be something better than in the middle
00:41:22Be a cigarette, we'll put it all together
00:41:26We can drive it home, we'll want it
00:41:30We can drive it home
00:41:38We can drive it home
00:41:46Yeah!
00:41:51You did it.
00:41:52You did it, man.
00:41:55Congratulations both of you.
00:41:56Bae, I'm going to start with you.
00:41:57I love that song so much.
00:41:58Took me back.
00:41:59I love that music does that.
00:42:00Music and smells have so much nostalgia tied to them.
00:42:04You're so understated.
00:42:06Like you're so cool because you don't try to be cool.
00:42:11Alexia, you are literally so good.
00:42:15It is like if Whitney Houston and Lauryn Hill's voices had a baby.
00:42:22I want to say that I've hugged you.
00:42:24I want to say that I knew you before.
00:42:28You're so good.
00:42:30I just want to remember this moment for when you were at the Grammys one day and I'm like, I
00:42:35know her.
00:42:36I'm like, oh my gosh.
00:42:38It's so good.
00:42:39Oh, I love it.
00:42:41Like look, at this point, I obviously would go with Alexia.
00:42:44Who would you pick?
00:42:47It's a mystery.
00:42:50Bae, there is this cool factor.
00:42:52Alexia, I talked about you being weird in the last round.
00:42:55A good weird.
00:42:56A good weird.
00:42:56A good weird.
00:42:57Music is really in you and it's super cool and weird in all the right ways.
00:43:03Thank you so much.
00:43:04Yes.
00:43:05And Alexia, the Lauryn Hill comment really works for me.
00:43:08There's something about that vibe.
00:43:11It's got grit, you know, soulfulness.
00:43:14And I love the style too.
00:43:16You're giving a little Chaka Khan energy today.
00:43:19The choices you're making, it's just all working.
00:43:22Thank you, coaches.
00:43:24All right, Adam.
00:43:24What'd you think about the knockout?
00:43:26You're both so comfortable in your own skin as far as who you are.
00:43:29Bae, there's been something special about you from the first moment I heard you sing.
00:43:32And you don't have to have a voice like Alexia's to be someone who is equally viable as an artist.
00:43:37I don't have a voice like Alexia's.
00:43:39You were incredible today.
00:43:42And Alexia, it's a shame that these two coaches didn't like what you did up there.
00:43:47I got to go see Lauryn, I think like 98, you know, Miss Education Tour.
00:43:53I played on that album, you know.
00:43:54Shut up, both of you.
00:43:55No way.
00:43:55I feel like I knew that.
00:43:57Oh my God, that's amazing.
00:43:59She is magic.
00:43:59And you are so unique in that way where you can make us feel.
00:44:04You're both fantastic.
00:44:06All right, Adam, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:44:12I love you both.
00:44:15The winner of this knockout is Alexia.
00:44:20Alexia!
00:44:21There are no saves, no steals, and I don't like that.
00:44:24She's crazy.
00:44:26I had to go with Alexia because she has one of the best voices I've ever heard in my life.
00:44:30Amazing.
00:44:31Alexia has that rare ability to sing anything.
00:44:34I think she could win this entire competition very easily.
00:44:37I heard that CeeLo came with a lot of zippers too.
00:44:39Did you all talk to each other?
00:44:40Maybe he influenced me.
00:44:41Oh.
00:44:41Now I'm zipped up.
00:44:42You're inspired.
00:44:43Zippers galore.
00:44:44Yeah, but not even close to as many.
00:44:45He had pockets everywhere.
00:44:46What is he hiding in his pockets?
00:44:48I want to know.
00:44:49People's fortunes.
00:44:50He had the fortune cookie messages in each pocket.
00:44:51Would he open different pockets?
00:44:53Yes, he opened different pockets.
00:44:54Oh.
00:44:55CeeLo's a wizard.
00:44:56He's a wild man.
00:44:57You're a wizard, Harry.
00:45:06Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere.
00:45:10When did I see you last?
00:45:12It was on my show.
00:45:13It was on my show.
00:45:14I hosted your show.
00:45:14Yep.
00:45:15Oh, good. We're back.
00:45:16All right.
00:45:16Okay, so next up is Abigail and Liv.
00:45:19Okay.
00:45:20Abigail has this really cool singer-songwriter, special kind of thing with her voice.
00:45:24Liv kind of reminds me of young Mariah.
00:45:26This whole journey has been insane.
00:45:28The battle, it was the most crazy moment of my life.
00:45:31Coach, let me remind you that Liv's available to steal.
00:45:34Whoa!
00:45:34Immediately!
00:45:35We got a steal!
00:45:36What do you mean?
00:45:38Oh, no!
00:45:39When Kelly pressed her super steal, it was such a crazy moment.
00:45:42And one thing I'm gonna make sure is to not let Kelly down.
00:45:46What's up?
00:45:47Oh, my gosh!
00:45:48Walking in to see Michael Buble as the mega mentor was absolutely insane.
00:45:53Michael's won Grammys, two seasons of The Voice.
00:45:56He's an amazing recording artist.
00:45:58Like, he puts his own spin on things.
00:46:00All right, who's gonna start?
00:46:02Abigail?
00:46:02Okay.
00:46:03I'm singing Feather by Sabrina Carpenter.
00:46:05I love a song about letting go as someone who's in their head a lot to sing about.
00:46:09I feel light as a feather.
00:46:11Let's hear it.
00:46:12Life is so much lighter like a feather with you off my mind.
00:46:17I love Abigail Forrest.
00:46:18I think she has such a sweet, lovely tone.
00:46:20It's really angelic.
00:46:22Like a kid, you fit every stereotype in the pic.
00:46:27She was great.
00:46:28Really great dance.
00:46:29She was good at flipping songs.
00:46:30This song is about letting go of someone who doesn't serve you anymore.
00:46:36I've had my fair share of breakups, but ultimately you get to exactly who you want to be with.
00:46:41When I met Tom, we were both still in college.
00:46:44He's the best.
00:46:45He's a musician as well.
00:46:46Tom is my biggest supporter.
00:46:49It was really effortless.
00:46:50Like two feathers floating together.
00:46:56It's so angelic.
00:46:58You seemed shy at first in the blinds, and I'm like, oh, you're a little punk rock.
00:47:02You got a little sass in there, and I love that.
00:47:04You're like a cross between Joni Mitchell and Melanie Martinez.
00:47:08Oh, yeah.
00:47:09You're very unique.
00:47:10If I'm you, I lean into the quirkiness.
00:47:13This is your song now.
00:47:14You have this really cool spark about you.
00:47:16That I really want to pull out.
00:47:18Can you play that chorus?
00:47:19I feel so much lighter like a feather with you off my arm.
00:47:23You're on the voice scene with Kelly Clarkson right now.
00:47:25You just want to pinch yourself.
00:47:27This is the best show I've ever seen.
00:47:30You act like a kid.
00:47:32You fit every stereotype.
00:47:35Send a pic.
00:47:37Yeah, since they're going quiet, you can make that little sexy sound that you're making.
00:47:41Send a pic to have that little pause right there.
00:47:44Because your little sass on it is such great sauce.
00:47:48I love it.
00:47:48As an artist, Abigail is so unique.
00:47:51The control is insane.
00:47:53She's just so amazing, and I'm so glad I get to hear her and work with her.
00:47:56Hey, Liv.
00:47:57Hi.
00:47:58Hey.
00:47:59Can I ask you something stupid?
00:48:01Of course.
00:48:01We didn't work together.
00:48:02We didn't work together, but I did audition last season, and I didn't get a chair turn.
00:48:07I was the one who had the connection with, like, the suckers.
00:48:11Of course.
00:48:11And I ate the sucker.
00:48:12Was it good?
00:48:13Yes.
00:48:13You brought a gift and everything?
00:48:14You're such an ass.
00:48:15I'm an idiot.
00:48:16For a competition, this is an interesting song to pick.
00:48:20Obviously, I'm a fan of it.
00:48:22I will be singing Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.
00:48:24I will say, this was not one of my favorites to record, but it's one of my favorites to perform
00:48:29live.
00:48:30Yeah.
00:48:30Because it touches so many people.
00:48:32Yeah.
00:48:32Are we going to shake it up a little bit?
00:48:34Yeah.
00:48:34So, obviously, I have so much respect for the original arrangement.
00:48:37It's amazing.
00:48:38Oh, throw the OG out.
00:48:39Let's do something.
00:48:45Liv has a beautiful voice.
00:48:47She has great control.
00:48:48It seems pretty effortless for her.
00:48:54And if she's this good at 16, I can't even imagine what this girl is going to sound like
00:48:59when she's 18, 19, 20.
00:49:00Yeah.
00:49:01Already great.
00:49:05You have such a good voice.
00:49:07This song could be yours now.
00:49:08I just want you to tell me that you're really going to be as genuine and honest as you can
00:49:13be.
00:49:14Yeah.
00:49:14It's a gorgeous song.
00:49:15And if this message really does mean something to you, it'll serve you well.
00:49:19Yeah.
00:49:19Knowing that this round we get to pick our songs, it's kind of a breath of relief because this is
00:49:23the song that I feel represents me the most.
00:49:26This song is about stepping out of your comfort zone, pursuing your dreams.
00:49:29I grew up in an average household with, you know, friends and family.
00:49:33We would always talk about homework and school, just casual teenager things.
00:49:37But now I have this incredible opportunity and I kind of want to break away and, you know, pursue my
00:49:42dream, but always keep the people that, you know, brought me up in my heart.
00:49:45I could go on a rant of why I love the song so much.
00:49:48I just wanted to slow the very beginning down a tiny bit.
00:49:52I could break away.
00:49:56It can be intimate.
00:49:57You don't have to push.
00:49:58That's what's going to separate you.
00:50:00She's going to choose one of you.
00:50:02There's no save.
00:50:02There's no steals.
00:50:03If I'm you, I want to make it impossible.
00:50:07Thank you ladies so much.
00:50:08Abigail and Liv.
00:50:09Who's going to come to the table?
00:50:11Who really wants it?
00:50:12Who's not going to show nerves?
00:50:14Great job.
00:50:15I will be singing Kelly's song in front of Kelly.
00:50:18Kelly's super steel artist.
00:50:19I have to use the nerves and turn them into excitement because in this round there are no second chances.
00:50:24Versus Abigail Oakley.
00:50:26I really want to make it to this next round.
00:50:29So this needs to be the best I've ever performed this song.
00:50:33They look so cool.
00:50:34This is really hard.
00:50:36Mm-hmm.
00:50:39Now with break away, here's Liv Sierra.
00:50:49Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window, dreaming
00:50:59of what could be, and if I'd end up happy, I would pray I could break away.
00:51:14I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly, I'll do what it takes till I touch the sky
00:51:22and I'll make a wish, and take a chance, and make a change, and break away.
00:51:32Buildings with a hundred floors, swinging around revolving us, maybe I don't know where they take me, gotta keep moving
00:51:43on, moving on, fly away, break away.
00:51:49I'll spread my wings and I'll make a living in a life, and do what it takes till I touch
00:52:01the sky and make a change, and break away.
00:52:08I know it's not easy to tell you goodbye, and make a change, and break away.
00:52:32Oh
00:52:46Yeah, beautiful
00:52:58Welcome back to the knockouts
00:53:02Yeah
00:53:02Let's go
00:53:08With Feather, here's Abigail Oakley
00:53:16It feels so good
00:53:19Not caring
00:53:20Where you are tonight
00:53:22Oh
00:53:24And it feels so good
00:53:27Not pretending to like the wine
00:53:30That you like
00:53:32I
00:53:34Slam the door
00:53:35I
00:53:36Say
00:53:38No
00:53:40No
00:53:40No
00:53:40No
00:53:41No
00:53:41No
00:53:41No
00:53:42I
00:53:42Got you blocked
00:53:44Excited to never talk
00:53:46I
00:53:47I'm so sorry for your loss
00:53:50I feel so much light
00:54:08You act like
00:54:09You fit every
00:54:12Stereotypes
00:54:13Send a pic
00:54:14I feel so much light
00:54:16Like I said
00:54:17With you out my life
00:54:20With you out my life
00:54:26Ooh
00:54:29All right
00:54:30You want me
00:54:32I'm done
00:54:33You miss me
00:54:34No
00:54:34Where I'm at
00:54:36I'm up
00:54:37I'm up
00:54:37Up on stage
00:54:39On stage
00:54:39At the voice
00:54:40Right now
00:54:49I feel so much lighter
00:54:52Like I said
00:54:53With you out my mind
00:54:55Ooh
00:54:58I feel so much lighter
00:55:00Like I said
00:55:01With you out my mind
00:55:03Ooh
00:55:04Ooh
00:55:06I feel so much lighter
00:55:08Like a feather
00:55:09With you out my mind
00:55:16Ooh
00:55:16I feel so much lighter
00:55:22So cool!
00:55:23Oh, my God!
00:55:25Nice!
00:55:28Wow!
00:55:30Abigail, I don't know that song very well, so
00:55:32some of the melodies, they were like, oh, wow.
00:55:34It's really difficult to sing that way.
00:55:37I loved hearing that cool part in the song
00:55:38where you had to do those little turns up in your head voice.
00:55:41You executed it very well.
00:55:43Thank you so much.
00:55:44Liv, it's always tough to pick the song of your coach.
00:55:49Seriously.
00:55:50But I think it was really effective, especially at the end
00:55:53with those big chest voice notes that we were hitting.
00:55:56It felt urgent enough to convince me that Liv should go to the next round
00:56:00if I would choose it.
00:56:03Liv, you know, you're 16.
00:56:04I think about when I was 16 and like, I was so lame.
00:56:08Like, I was just not even close to where you are.
00:56:11So, I'm blown away.
00:56:12You chose Kelly's song to sing in a moment where you had the power to choose.
00:56:16And that's a big statement.
00:56:17Awesome job.
00:56:19Abigail, you really have me feeling and understanding the lyrics.
00:56:22Whenever you can like plug someone into a song like that,
00:56:25that means that you are doing what is necessary to connect us to the music.
00:56:29You both did really great.
00:56:30So, I give you no help, really.
00:56:32All right, Kelly, before you tell us who won, what did you think?
00:56:35Well, I want to lead with Abigail because Sabrina on any song is hard.
00:56:41And the fact, Abigail, that you're doing it in your head voice,
00:56:44it was perfectly executed.
00:56:47That's a very hard thing to do.
00:56:49And Liv, I was like, girl, why are you doing this song?
00:56:53And it's my song.
00:56:54It's not usually a showstopper.
00:56:57What's exciting to me is that you made it a showstopper.
00:57:03This is very hard.
00:57:05Kelly, who is the winner of this knockout?
00:57:09Regardless of who I pick, I do think that you're both special in very different ways.
00:57:19The winner of this knockout is Liv.
00:57:23Liv, Sierra, congratulations.
00:57:26You're moving on to the top nine for two, Kelly.
00:57:29It's very hard.
00:57:30Liv is exciting for me because she's 16th,
00:57:32and she really impressed me with what she did with my song, Breakaway.
00:57:35She made it a competition song.
00:57:36It's so nerve-wracking up there.
00:57:38Oh.
00:57:38She's so good.
00:57:39Now, Liv is in the semifinal, so I'll ride all right.
00:57:43That song's like Piano Man.
00:57:44Yeah, it was so fun.
00:57:45It's got that whole, it's like the waltzy.
00:57:47That's what I mean.
00:57:47She made it a competitive song.
00:57:49Yeah, that's true.
00:57:50You know, it definitely was cool.
00:57:51It worked.
00:57:52It really worked.
00:58:00Welcome back to the Knockouts premiere.
00:58:06So we got two amazing young ladies coming out now.
00:58:09Natasha's got that soulful, smooth vibe.
00:58:12And then Sid is like powerhouse.
00:58:15I'm looking forward to it as well.
00:58:16All right, let's do it.
00:58:17Oh.
00:58:18Hello.
00:58:19Hi.
00:58:19Look who's here.
00:58:20We got the OG.
00:58:21I was so excited to see CeeLo Green.
00:58:25What's up?
00:58:25Crazy.
00:58:26It was one of the first songs I ever covered.
00:58:28He's just such an icon.
00:58:30Natasha, talk to us.
00:58:32What song have you chosen?
00:58:34I'm singing another sad love song by Toni Braxton.
00:58:37Good one.
00:58:38All right.
00:58:39So let's try it.
00:58:44Natasha is super cool.
00:58:46Like a really pronounced lounge singer.
00:58:50Extraordinarist.
00:58:52A lounge may be a smaller stage, but the crowd that's gathered around them
00:58:57is just as significant.
00:58:58You've got a smooth, sultry voice, but I wanted to see you go even further.
00:59:03Okay.
00:59:04It doesn't have the smoothness and sultriness that I know you can deliver.
00:59:08It feels too happy.
00:59:10What if we, just to stay in babyface land, made it feel like, when can I see you again?
00:59:15Ah.
00:59:16There you go.
00:59:16Let's start with that with the guitar, okay?
00:59:19Same tempo.
00:59:20Ooh.
00:59:20Yeah.
00:59:21I already feel it.
00:59:22So be sultrier.
00:59:24Think about who you are as a character in this song.
00:59:27Think about that pain.
00:59:29It's just another sad love song wrecking my brain.
00:59:33Ooh.
00:59:34Feels way better.
00:59:35Yeah.
00:59:36Hey.
00:59:36Natasha has so many strengths.
00:59:39It's completely different from my vibe.
00:59:42I love it.
00:59:42Thanks so much, y'all.
00:59:43All right.
00:59:44So that in itself, like, very much intimidates me.
00:59:47I chose Tell Me You Love Me by Demi Lovato.
00:59:50My college experience, I was really big in musical theater, and I was told no a lot.
00:59:56I started to believe a lot of those people.
00:59:59So now, when I say Tell Me You Love Me, I'm literally screaming at myself.
01:00:03Tell yourself you love you.
01:00:05Yes.
01:00:05You know?
01:00:06Can't wait to hear it.
01:00:07Oh, tell me you love me.
01:00:11Oh, tell me you love me.
01:00:11I need someone.
01:00:14On days like this, I do.
01:00:16SID, crazy range, crazy power, crazy ability.
01:00:20She has just a remarkable gift.
01:00:28The range, the skill level, the style, it just shows the level of SID's confidence as an artist that she's
01:00:35taking on these big challenges.
01:00:37No doubt.
01:00:38You.
01:00:39You.
01:00:41You.
01:00:42You.
01:00:42You.
01:00:44I'm so impressed.
01:00:46Effective immediately.
01:00:47So good.
01:00:49Your challenge is how to channel your own story into how you deliver this song.
01:00:55But other than that, it sounds incredible.
01:00:58Ash, come back over.
01:01:00Thanks so much.
01:01:01I have keepsakes for the both of you.
01:01:03Oh, my gosh.
01:01:05SID and Natasha, very stylistically different.
01:01:08But each of them can be amazing in their own space.
01:01:11Got wisdom.
01:01:12Pearls of wisdom.
01:01:13To be great is to be misunderstood.
01:01:15I paint flowers so they will not die.
01:01:18Ooh.
01:01:19I'm really watching the stage to see who feels like they belong there and make me get out of my
01:01:24head and just listen with my heart.
01:01:27Yes.
01:01:28Let's go, SID.
01:01:32All right, SID.
01:01:34Now with Tell Me You Love Me, here's SID Milivoie.
01:01:44Ooh.
01:01:48Yeah.
01:01:51Oh no, here we go again, fighting over what I said.
01:01:57I'm sorry.
01:02:00Yeah, I'm sorry.
01:02:02And all my friends, they know when it's true.
01:02:05I don't know who I am without you.
01:02:08I don't know who I am without you.
01:02:10I got it back, baby.
01:02:11I got it back, baby.
01:02:13Oh, tell me you love me.
01:02:16I need someone.
01:02:19I need someone.
01:02:20On days like this, I do.
01:02:22On days like this, I do.
01:02:34On days like this.
01:02:37Oh, tell me you love me.
01:02:38Oh, tell me you love me.
01:02:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02:43You ain't nobody till you're not somebody.
01:02:46Say you ain't nobody till you're supposed to be.
01:02:50Can you love me?
01:02:52Well, I need someone
01:02:54On days like this
01:02:57On days like this
01:03:00On days like this
01:03:03Oh, days like this
01:03:11Oh, can you hear my heart say yeah?
01:03:14Yeah, yeah
01:03:18Yeah, yeah, yeah
01:03:25Helpful with it, I need
01:03:28Stand right in front of me
01:03:31I know that we will be alright, alright, yeah
01:03:37Woo!
01:03:41Yeah!
01:03:44Let's go, Natasha!
01:03:55Welcome back to The Knockouts
01:04:01With another sad love song, here is Natasha Blaine
01:04:10Since you've been gone I've been hanging around here lately
01:04:18With my mind, I'm still
01:04:22Jumped in my car, tried to clean my mind
01:04:26They didn't help me
01:04:28Guess I'm all messed up with
01:04:32Soon as I jumped into my mind
01:04:36Soon as I jumped into my mind
01:04:37Memories start to play
01:04:42A song comes on, on the radio
01:04:47There you are, baby
01:04:51Once again, it's just another sad love song
01:04:56Wrecking my brain like crazy
01:04:59Yes, I'm all torn
01:05:03Yes, I'm all torn
01:05:04Be it fast or slow
01:05:06It doesn't let go or shake me
01:05:12Mmm, yeah
01:05:14Here come the strings
01:05:17And somebody sings
01:05:19Only takes a beat
01:05:21And then it starts killing me
01:05:24Darling, only takes one note
01:05:27From our radio
01:05:29Just to deny the lonely
01:05:33Love song
01:05:42Like crazy
01:05:44I won't turn the beat
01:05:49Fast or slow
01:05:51It doesn't let go of shame
01:05:54It's all because of you
01:06:11Yeah!
01:06:13Yeah!
01:06:16Woo!
01:06:19Fantastic!
01:06:19All right!
01:06:21Excellent job, by the way, both of you guys.
01:06:23So different.
01:06:24I mean, so different.
01:06:27Yeah.
01:06:27Natasha, I heard something in your range I hadn't heard yet.
01:06:30And it got more comfortable, I think,
01:06:31as the performance continued.
01:06:33I think with you, just so much improvement.
01:06:35Just amazing where you wound up on this one.
01:06:37So great job.
01:06:40Sid, you know,
01:06:41it's amazing what you do.
01:06:43You can sing any note there is to sing.
01:06:45And you do it with power.
01:06:46It just keeps on soaring like a freaking eagle.
01:06:49If you were to move forward,
01:06:50I almost want to get tapped into the emotion of it even more.
01:06:53Because we know you can sing to the moon.
01:06:55Great job.
01:06:56I would lean towards it on this one.
01:07:00Natasha, I love that vibe that you do.
01:07:03That lounge kind of singer.
01:07:05Especially like in your 20s with that sound.
01:07:07Like, I don't know many people that do that.
01:07:10Sid, you have this voice that is meant for an arena like this.
01:07:13No matter what the song is,
01:07:14you can turn it into something that sounds like a finale song.
01:07:17But if you don't have that part that captivates you,
01:07:20that makes me want to cry,
01:07:21which you are capable of,
01:07:23that's the only connection I'm missing from you at this point.
01:07:25If you tap into that, girl,
01:07:26you will be unstoppable.
01:07:29Thank you, coaches.
01:07:31All right, Johnny, you got a tough decision coming up.
01:07:33Give us some thoughts first.
01:07:35Natasha, I really liked a lot of the stylistic choices that you made.
01:07:39Thanks.
01:07:39You understand who you are as a vocalist.
01:07:41You just got to lean into that
01:07:43and continue to work on being the best in that lane.
01:07:46Thanks.
01:07:48Sid, I completely agree with what they've been saying
01:07:51about the next level for you.
01:07:53It's so obvious you're one of the most gifted singers
01:07:56we'll ever come across, period.
01:07:57So the next thing is making the audience believe you as an artist.
01:08:03Tough choice for you, John, but the time has come.
01:08:06Who is the winner of this knockout?
01:08:12The winner of this knockout
01:08:16is Sid.
01:08:17All right, Sid, congratulations!
01:08:19I am really loving the knockouts.
01:08:22Fantastic.
01:08:23These ladies did such a wonderful job,
01:08:25but Sid is just so good.
01:08:26Watching someone that has that much skill,
01:08:28it's a marvel.
01:08:29Only a few human beings in the world can actually do it.
01:08:32We should honor that,
01:08:34especially on a show called The Voice.
01:08:36Congratulations!
01:08:37Thank you so much!
01:08:38That was a close one.
01:08:40Top nine feels so crazy to me,
01:08:43and I can't even believe that I'm saying it.
01:08:44I'm going to the top nine!
01:08:47Team legend!
01:08:48Yeah!
01:08:57Welcome back to The Voice, Battle of Champions.
01:09:02Do you remember the first day we shot the show?
01:09:06They put us in these big, red, goofy chairs,
01:09:08and then they just basically said, go!
01:09:10It was definitely on-the-job training, for sure.
01:09:12And then, look at all this.
01:09:13Like, everyone in the world knows what The Voice is.
01:09:16We built this city,
01:09:18red, dark,
01:09:20without this city,
01:09:21I'm running around us.
01:09:24You ready?
01:09:24I'm ready.
01:09:25You ready?
01:09:25We got this.
01:09:26What's up, guys?
01:09:26Am I putting Mike and Jeremy together?
01:09:28Because I know that for them to get far in this competition,
01:09:31they're going to have to get through each other.
01:09:33I bought you all a present.
01:09:35Yo!
01:09:35Oh, wow!
01:09:36Walking in and seeing CeeLo,
01:09:38that was crazy.
01:09:40The one and only.
01:09:41How you doing?
01:09:41What an honor.
01:09:42He is my childhood inspiration.
01:09:44Goody mob all day.
01:09:45My pleasure, my pleasure, my pleasure.
01:09:47CeeLo knows what it takes to win.
01:09:49Mike's brand new here.
01:09:50Yes, I am.
01:09:51He's on a new team, Adam.
01:09:53John Legend was foolish.
01:09:54I heard about his debacle.
01:09:56We got a steal!
01:09:58Being Adam's only steal,
01:10:00like, I feel really, really special.
01:10:02He's so good, bro.
01:10:03I want to show Adam
01:10:05that he did not make a mistake.
01:10:07I'm going to give him my all.
01:10:08Mike, have a seat over there.
01:10:10All right.
01:10:11Taking down a classic?
01:10:12Yes.
01:10:13My gosh.
01:10:14I will be singing
01:10:15Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing
01:10:16by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell.
01:10:19I spent a decade singing
01:10:20with Soulful Symphony.
01:10:22It's a 75-piece orchestra
01:10:24of African-American musicians.
01:10:26We've done a lot of different tributes,
01:10:29and one of them
01:10:30included a tribute to Marvin Gaye.
01:10:33I currently live in Los Angeles.
01:10:35I've been here for about nine years now.
01:10:38I do music full-time.
01:10:40I've been working at this
01:10:41since I was 16,
01:10:42and being on the voice stage
01:10:44is nothing like it.
01:10:46Let's hear some music.
01:10:47Ain't nothing like the real thing, baby.
01:10:51I think it's a good choice.
01:10:52I think it's smart.
01:10:53It's doing a song
01:10:54that everybody wants to hear.
01:10:55It's just about how he's going to deliver it.
01:10:57Oh, nothing like the real thing.
01:11:00Jeremy has so much more experience than I do,
01:11:03but me and Jeremy both receive
01:11:06a triple chair turn,
01:11:08so it's going to be a really tough knockout.
01:11:10Yeah.
01:11:13I heard modulation moments,
01:11:15and you're a little bit hesitant.
01:11:18Wherever you're at now,
01:11:19just be there.
01:11:20Don't get too heady about it.
01:11:22I see how you're struggling
01:11:24with dealing with the beginning.
01:11:26First of all,
01:11:26you're saying the crap out of it,
01:11:28but you miss Tammy.
01:11:30You're reading my mind.
01:11:31It's like peanut butter, no jelly.
01:11:32Without that support,
01:11:34it does leave too much of a gaping hold,
01:11:38and those runs,
01:11:39those are your moments,
01:11:40and so you want to carry that run over,
01:11:43then it overshoots the mark
01:11:45of where the hook should come back in
01:11:46because that's the satisfaction.
01:11:49Adam, touch it again.
01:11:49We're good with the BGVs.
01:11:50Okay, great.
01:11:51Let's listen to it with the BGVs.
01:11:52Okay, great.
01:11:55It was a little bit sketchy
01:11:56in the beginning
01:11:57because I didn't hear
01:11:57background vocals in there,
01:11:58but then we figured that out.
01:12:00I need him to be confident
01:12:01and happy with it.
01:12:02That's the most important thing.
01:12:03Jeremy, doing this duet song,
01:12:06I think it still lends itself
01:12:08to a quality in his voice
01:12:09because it's sincere.
01:12:11Much, much better.
01:12:12Yeah.
01:12:13The confidence started to shine.
01:12:15Marvin Gaye is one
01:12:15of my all-time favorites.
01:12:17Ooh, crisis averted.
01:12:20Mike.
01:12:21Hey, Mikey.
01:12:22Mike, steal the steal.
01:12:24Let me know why you chose this song.
01:12:25This is the type of music
01:12:27I grew up on.
01:12:28I am singing
01:12:29How You Gonna Act Like That
01:12:30by Tyrese.
01:12:31Growing up in Mississippi,
01:12:32the entire family
01:12:33used to meet up
01:12:34at my grandma's house
01:12:35and have everything there
01:12:37from barbecues
01:12:38to fish fries,
01:12:39hosting car games,
01:12:40and Tyrese's music
01:12:42will always be playing
01:12:43in the background.
01:12:44His songs is just,
01:12:45that's how I always saw myself
01:12:47as an artist.
01:12:48How you gonna act like that?
01:12:52Mike sounds great.
01:12:53There's a quality in his voice.
01:12:55Unique.
01:12:56Yeah, it's very unique.
01:12:57It's this beast
01:12:58of a vocal tone.
01:12:59Ooh!
01:13:02Ooh!
01:13:05That's what I'm hoping
01:13:07that he realizes in himself,
01:13:08that quality,
01:13:09to be the king of the jungle.
01:13:11Yeah.
01:13:13All right, so look,
01:13:15we know you have a great voice.
01:13:16This will 150% come down
01:13:19to the performance.
01:13:20Right.
01:13:21It's a sexy song
01:13:22and you need to perform it
01:13:23and you need to make everyone
01:13:24fall in love with you.
01:13:25It's like an audio chick flick.
01:13:26It's like,
01:13:27when you do this,
01:13:28you gotta unleash.
01:13:29You cannot just stand there
01:13:30and sing the song, right?
01:13:30Okay.
01:13:31Move your mic stand to the side.
01:13:33Hold the mic.
01:13:33You know what I'm saying?
01:13:34Give yourself
01:13:35a little bit more space.
01:13:36You have to look to the right,
01:13:37to your left,
01:13:37to the center.
01:13:38This audience is your friend.
01:13:40Sing it to them.
01:13:41I guess.
01:13:42Just have fun.
01:13:43I guess.
01:13:43So, before you guys go,
01:13:45there is a message
01:13:47in each pocket

01:19:34We are both so phenomenal Jeremy like you're such a rock-steady singer your voice opens up
01:19:40it's so beautiful it fills the room Mike you have one of the coolest tones your runs were
01:19:48really cool like you got a little lost in it and like in a good way I don't mean like
01:19:52lost isn't
01:19:52like oh man you couldn't find your way back or land the plane that's how I am with talking like

01:20:03both so good man I don't know if it's this hard for you just think about how hard it is
01:20:08for me this
01:20:09is horrible John help me first of all Jeremy in my mind you're the better like pure singer and then
01:20:16Mike you've got like kind of the je ne sais quoi kind of vibe I think your style is great
01:20:22swag you
01:20:23like it's just swaggy and so there's a lot of like kind of the intangibles so that's why it
01:20:27makes it really hard you're screwed I know okay thank you coaches that's hard all right Adam tough
01:20:35decision what'd you think about the knockout I thought they were great and they should both stay
01:20:40it's really tough because Jeremy you are ready now you have a fantastic voice we haven't even really
01:20:46seen the full range of what is possible and in Mike there's a quality to what you do that's really
01:20:51different I haven't heard many singers with that tone like yours that's what's making this all very
01:20:55close because you're both great singers tough decision Adam yeah it sure is isn't it who's the
01:21:00winner of this knockout I don't know this sucks because I really do love you both and I really
01:21:09think that you both should be on the show and I think you should both be on my team and
01:21:12I don't like
01:21:17this the winner of this knockout is Jeremy the performances and the knockouts have been really
01:21:28good Jeremy and Mike was really tough because they're both great singers but going into the top
01:21:32nine I just need to have the strongest team possible man thank you so much Jeremy's got an amazing voice
01:21:37that I still feel it hasn't reached this full potential on the show yet so Jeremy was just ready
01:21:41right now that was the hardest that was the hardest that was so close
01:22:13so Jeremy was just ready for the hardest that was so close to the end of the show and I'm
01:22:14not sure if you're not sure if you're not sure if you're not sure if you're not sure if you're
